go-qbit

GoLang QBit, just the queue!

Reduces thread synchronization and locking by sending messages in batches. Implements auto-flushing of batches.

QBit queue is over 7.2 to 7.5 times faster than golang's internal channel. You also get notification via callbacks when the queue is empty, a new batch started, or a new batch ended (and more).

QBit queue

go test -v github.com/advantageous/go-qbit/qbit -bench ^BenchmarkQueue$ -run ^$

QBit with a single reader and a single writer was able to send 71,469,411 messages a second.

Go Channel

Golang channel with a single reader and a single writer was able to send 9,525,623 messages a second.

Improvement

Use pooling. Created simpler queue manager.

Queue Pooling off (2 seconds faster than before with simpler queue manager)

heap 2,437,776 	 GC count 4,531

Queue Pooling on (3 seconds faster than before with simpler queue manager)

heap 2,505,232 	 GC count 3
1	10912673726 ns/op
PASS
ok  	github.com/advantageous/go-qbit/qbit	10.924s

GC collections went from 4,531 to 3.
